Michigan Supreme Court campaign finance summary, 1984 - 2014

This page shows the evolution of campaign finances for Michigan Supreme Court election campaigns over three decades from 1984 through 2014. In addition to campaign finance data, the page displays representative samples of electioneering television advertisements, or candidate-focused "issue" advertisements, from the campaigns of 2000 through 2014. Over the period from 2000 through 2014, the political parties and interest groups spent two-thirds more than the amount raised and spent by the candidate committees for unreported, unregulated electioneering television advertisements. Spending data for those advertisements were collected from the public files of Michigan's television broadcasters and cable systems.
